Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 26

The night was still the same, but there was no calm. Some men and women who were sleeping in the house were driven out and gathered together and pointed at with knives and guns;

"Zhiniang thief, there are thieves coming in before and after hearing this sound, what are you doing now?" Wang Dashou looked anxiously at Shen Ji with sweat all over his head.

"There are quite a few people listening to the voice." Shen Ji secretly climbed up the wall and looked out, and saw dozens of strongmen outside who were fighting with open flames searching the houses one by one. Most of them were wearing armor. After a jump, he hurriedly came down and said to Wang Dashou: "Punai is that fellow E Quanzhong, and the ones accompanying him must be bandits from Baishi Mountain. I never thought that this group of people would have armor on them."

Wang Dashou's complexion changed: "Why did this guy come so fast, and the thief from Baishi Mountain was sent by him?"

Shen Ji broke out in a cold sweat in shock: "This matter can't be settled, let's go, or you and I will have to explain here."

Seeing this, Wang Dashou stumbled and said, "There are people in front and behind, but where are they going?"

Shen Ji didn't answer and quickly walked towards the other side of the courtyard wall. Seeing this, Wang Dashou hurriedly followed: "It's already this time, where are you going?"

Shen Ji walked quickly to the side of the wall, where there was a half-person-high mountain rock leaning against the wall, Shen Ji pushed hard but did not push, then looked back at Wang Dashou: "Come and help me, there is an exit here."

"Say it earlier." Wang Dashou heard that he threw away his iron spear and went up to help push the stone. Both of them were Kong Wu's powerful men, and together they moved the stone away to reveal a dog hole that could allow one person to pass through.

Wang Dashou stared at the entrance of the cave dumbfounded: "Zhemo, you let me go through the dog's hole? I don't want to lose face?!"

Shen Ji didn't even bother to reply, he just threw the dropped knife out along the dog hole, he got out with short hands and feet, went to squat outside, turned his head to the dog hole and said: "If you don't go in, it will be too late."

Wang Dashou's complexion changed, he hurriedly imitated Shen Ji and shunned the iron spear out, and now he didn't mention his face, and quickly got out.

"Where are you going?" Wang Dashou turned his head and asked Shen Ji with a face.

"Let's escape first." Shen Ji picked up the knife, looked around and groped out.

Wang Dashou's face was cloudy and cloudy, and after a while, he ran along another road with his iron gun in his hand.

When Shen Ji heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Wang Dashou slipping away from somewhere else, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in a low voice: "Straight mother thief, a wine-sex monk really doesn't show loyalty."

After scolding, he ran away with the knife in hand, and gradually his figure melted into the night, as if there was nothing here.

……

Shen's front yard.

Lu Bu stood in the courtyard, staring at the stars in the sky, his burly figure was shaking on the ground under the moonlight and the torch, as if he was about to break through the shackles and come to the world.

A group of minions pushed people out, let everyone sit on the ground, regardless of whether they were fully dressed in the cold weather, just like this, people squeezed into a pile, many men and women hugged their chests in horror and shivered, I don't know whether to be scared or frozen.

"Let me go! You scoundrels who kill the gods these days, you bastards who will never die, will be bound to the execution ground sooner or later and be beheaded." Shen Jiancang was caught between two minions, struggling to struggle outward, with only old arms and legs He is not a martial arts practitioner, how did he break free from the grip of two strong men, and was finally pushed into the courtyard.

"Oh, this old man has a lot of backbone, and he can still scold at this time." Ma Ling smiled, and then asked Shen Jiancang: "Old man, who are you?"

"Pocai, when my nephew comes out, I will tell you to die, you bastards who deserve to die long ago!"

Shen Jiancang ignored him, and just cursed blindly, saying "thief" on the left and "killing talent" on the right. The ugly vocabulary gradually made Ma Ling's face change.

"Zhiniang thief, I will kill you." Ma Ling drew out his long knife in a "choke" and prepared to kill Shen Jiancang.

"Brother Ma Ling, wait a moment." Lu Bu frowned and looked at Shen Jiancang, and then observed the faces of the servants around him: "Zhemo, this old man is the enemy of Brother E, and let's leave this dog's life behind for confirmation. It's not too late to kill."

"Brother is right." Ma Ling nodded, put the knife back into its sheath, looked at Shen Jiancang coldly, and waited for E Quanzhong to come over.

Perhaps because he was old and lacked physical strength, Shen Jiancang stopped to catch his breath after cursing a few words, and only stared at the people in front of him with cannibalistic eyes.

Not long after, E Quanzhong came to the front yard with a vicious aura, first saw Lu Bu's tall figure clasped his fists and said: "Brother, thank you, Shen Ji ran away. There is a dog hole in his courtyard. There is no way to hide it." Crawled and ran through the hole."

"Cowardless gangster! God! How did my Shen family produce such a worthless junior!" Shen Jiancang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, as if Shen Ji's escape was the last straw that broke him. .

E Quanzhong hurriedly looked over when he heard the words, and immediately shouted angrily: "Old thief Shen, so you are here."

It was he who had just entered through the back door and took people to Shen Ji's place first, but he couldn't find anyone. After searching around, he found the dog hole and the traces of the stone being pushed. He concluded that the person had run away, and went back to Shen Jiancang's main courtyard , No one was found and thought everyone had run away, Fang Lai joined Lu Bu in the front yard.

"Is this person that Shen Taigong?" Ma Lingjian said, his eyes widened and he looked at Shen Jiancang with a face of despair.

"It's this old pig and dog." E Quanzhong gritted his teeth and stared at Shen Jiancang: "Old thief, you can't imagine today."

The huge roar made Shen Jiancang's sluggish eyes react a little. He glanced at E Quanzhong in a blink of an eye, and suddenly his pupils dilated, and his face was full of ferociousness, and he wanted to rush forward: "You are the killer."

The two minions hurriedly held him down, but Shen Jiancang still yelled relentlessly: "You rascal, you are as shameless as your bitch girl, what are you relying on our Shen family for! You scumbag doesn't know how to flatter you, yet you refuse my son's favor, death is not a pity! Your brother-in-law is also an idiot, if he doesn't obediently offer his female relatives and even fights with me, he deserves to be killed! Kill him!"

E Quan Zhongqi's face turned purple, the corners of his eyes kept shaking, and he suddenly drew his knife and slashed.

puff!
A gust of blood shot into the air, and Shen Jiancang was cut with a foot-long wound from his neck to his chest. E Quanzhong stood there in a downward chopping posture, panting heavily, his chest rising and falling.

The two minions let go, and the dead body fell to the ground with a bang, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the servant girls let out a half-scream in fright, but were covered by their quick-response companions, leaving only the sound of whimpering, but it was a few timid cried.

Everyone looked at Shen Jiancang's body in amazement, and Ma Ling murmured: "Is this guy crazy?!"

Lu Bu looked at him for a while and asked, "Didn't the guy who died still say that there is someone safe?"

The minion next to him said blankly after hearing this: "Go back to the leader, I didn't see it, everyone is here."

"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows: "Zemo was made up by that guy again?"

"That's right." E Quanzhong came back to his senses, and while wiping the blood from the knife on Shen Jiancang's clothes, he said: "This old pig and dog are old enough to have children, and the old woman gave birth to two sons. It's been a few years, and Li Zongtang didn't say a word of the truth."

Then he turned around, knelt on the ground and bowed to Lu Bu, "My brother helped me avenge me. From now on, my life will be my brother's. There will be no complaints."

"Get up, brother." Seeing this, Lu Bu hurriedly stepped forward two steps, pulled E Quanzhong up, and said with a full gesture: "Don't say that, the friendship between you and me lies in sincerity, and no one owes anyone."

E Quanzhong became more and more grateful, bowed to the ground, then got up and stood aside with a knife.

"Brother, great harvest." Deng Fei, who was going to search for gold and silver, walked over quickly: "This guy has a lot of money in his family. The two brothers Fei and Xue are still counting, and Brother Qiao Lie took people to the granary. The receipt is not small."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Well, then you can load the gold and silver into the carts and distribute some money and food to each of the villager's families."

"Yes." Deng Fei cupped his hands and walked away quickly.

Lu Bu looked at the terrified servants, and said, "Who knows where the study is?"

But he remembered what Li Zongtang said, those two sons had read poetry and books, thinking of what to do, Lu Bu decided to go and have a look, what if there was something he needed?
All the servant girls from the family looked at each other and shook their heads in shock, but no one dared to respond.

On the contrary, E Quanzhong said: "Brother is looking for a study, I bumped into it on the way just now."

"Oh?" Lu Bu turned his head and said, "Brother Harding took me there."

Then he said to Ma Ling: "Brother Ma Ling, wait here, but someone wants to run away, you can do whatever you want."

Ma Ling cupped his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry, with me here, no one can escape."

The Shen family's study room is much larger than the Gao family's study room seen in Liaodi. The three tables inside seem to be prepared for the two sons of Shen Jiancang and Shen Ji. There is also a large bookcase filled with various books.

"Then what does Li have to tell the truth?" Lu Bu looked at the study and said with emotion, "There are really many books here."

E Quanzhong said bitterly from behind: "Reading books can't wash away the dirty thoughts of those two beasts."

"There are a lot of gentle scum." Lu Bu shook his head. He has seen many people. Among the scholars, there are noble people, such as Cai Yong. The younger generation, just like those under Yuan Shao's command...

Also like his subordinates.

There was a sneer at the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, as if he was mocking himself or the scholars.

"What brother said is true." E Quanzhong nodded in agreement, because Lu Bu had his back to him, and he didn't see Lu Bu's mocking expression at this time.

"What is brother looking for?" E Quanzhong Lv Bu wondered as he flipped through the books.

"Historical books." Lu Bu didn't hide anything. Reading is not something to be ashamed of, and there is nothing to say.

E Quanzhong was confused: "Poems?"

"History." Lu Bu raised the Warring States policy in his hand and said, "This is what I'm looking for."

"Oh~" E Quanzhong suddenly realized, "I'll help my brother find it together."

As he spoke, he walked over to rummaging through boxes and cabinets with Lu Bu, and suddenly a folded piece of paper fell out of the book he was holding, E Quanzhong picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly said happily: "Brother, I didn't expect this family to have this thing. "

Lu Bu came over to take a look, and murmured: "Song Liao Kan Yutu, Song Dynasty, Xu Guanzhong system."

This is a crude map, on which the approximate boundaries of the Song and Liao Dynasties are drawn, and important cities are marked. The map of the Liao Kingdom even marks the spheres of influence of several important tribes.

"This is really a treasure." Lu Bu smiled and stretched out his hand to take the map and examine it carefully, then his smile gradually narrowed, and his face became more and more ugly.

"Brother?" Seeing Lu Bu standing there holding a Kanyu map and not saying a word, E Quanzhong couldn't help calling out strangely.

"Oh, it's all right." Lu Bu came to his senses, folded the Kanyu Map and put it in his arms with a blank expression, and then said, "Please help me find some books, especially the Han Dynasty."

"Okay." E Quanzhong nodded in response.

Under the lights, the two strong men kept looking for books, gradually forgetting the time.
